This piece is for men. Every time I write a piece about how men systemically abuse women, my DMs explode with “Not All Men” complaints. But now, a new study demonstrates that empirically, statistically, & factually, it literally is all men. The data is horrifying.

israel bombed a palestinian hospital yesterday murdering a beloved surgeon, a 13 year old, and four other people, but i’m glad the new israeli multimillionaire film executive makes israeli multimillionaire actress gal gadot feel safe ❤️

Gal Gadot says Skydance co-CEO Ynon Kreiz "gives me hope" against antisemitism.

“I’m frightened by how quickly hatred of Jews is spreading — and how openly it is expressed and accepted. Since the Oct. 7 massacre and the war that followed, I have found myself asking how far this can go. If people get used to hearing and seeing hatred and looking the other way, then where does it end?" Gadot said while honoring Kreiz at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Humanitarian Award Dinner.

"What gives me hope is that people like Ynon aren’t wavering. He’s doing what he’s always done. He’s standing firm. He feels what our what our community is going through. He’s sticking up against antisemitism. He’s bringing his intense conviction and heart to this fight. He’s leading. That leadership is like a beacon of light and in a dark hour nothing matters more than a ray of light to give all of us courage.”

I haven’t spoken to a single Democratic member whose office HASN’T been inundated and overwhelmed by calls opposing Jeffries for Speaker.

[Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc]

The technical term for this is "lie."

AOC is doing gymnastics to avoid saying corporate America has long decided who her party’s leader is and that it’s procedural not corruption. But it is corruption so her soundbytes are contradictory, condescending, and accidentally severe admissions of a wholly rigged plutocracy

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

its not lost on me that there're always plenty of absentees when its time to do the bidding of the masses, but can you imagine a world where hakeem failed to whip votes for a funding bill for israel?!?!

[Klaust @politigaymer]

I'm so sorry but Hakeem @RepJeffries claiming to be able to deliver accountability over the past week and then LITERALLY FAILING TO HAVE HIS CAUCUS PRESENT TO IMPEACH HEGSETH is **INSANE**

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

Jeffries didn’t even whip the vote. He told people to “vote their conscience,” and 11 members of his caucus didn’t show up. This is why people want a stronger leader.

[HalalFlow @halalflow]

Bernie Sanders is not supporting Chuck Schumer for Majority Senate Leader: "But in my view the time for now is change. And I will not be supporting Chuck for Democratic leader."

[Drew Dixon @deardrewdixon]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

Jefferies is demanding support or he'll withhold committee appointments, and James just said anyone challenging Jefferies has to go through her… Thats straight up bullying behavior. We need to get rid of them both.

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

Jeffries is threatening to withhold committee assignments from anyone who does not pledge their support for him to become speaker. So a loyalty pledge — sound familiar? Haven’t we had enough of governing by threat?? Isn’t this exactly what we just voted against?

[Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc]

The crazy thing is, Hakeem hasn't even met him. I had a lot of disagreements with Nancy Pelosi, but she at least had the good sense to meet every freshman member of Congress who might be a no on her right away and make a pitch, rather than leading with threats.

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

Leaving two deeply unpopular corporate, pro-Israel New York Democrats to lead both the House and Senate right now would be badly misreading this moment and fumbling a historic win, and even they know it.
